I think you are mistaken. These freqs are on the UK 2F Beam.
TA5 11.306H 27500 2/3
TA6 11.306V '' ''
TA7 11.344H '' ''
TA8 11.344V. '' ''

while checking the tps ,no signal is detected but i can watch the bt euro promo in both sd and hd.

Yes no problem there - the weakest BT Euro Freq (BT Sport Europe HD) which I am registering is 11389 H 27500 2/3 and it's SNR about 39% or 6.45 db with my 1.5Dish

The last lot of Eutelsat C transponders will move at the end of the month to Astra 2E. They may all go to UK spot or a mixture of UK & Europe beam.

Ok, but surely they are going to have the data correct on their own transponder, right? This is data from DVB tables on 11223/11263H.

11126 V 22000 5/6 TSID: 2068
11223 H 27500 2/3 TSID: 2311
11225 V 27500 2/3 TSID: 2106
11263 H 27500 2/3 TSID: 2301
11265 V 27500 2/3 TSID: 2108
11307 V 27500 2/3 TSID: 2314
11343 V 27500 2/3 TSID: 2304
11344 H 27500 2/3 TSID: 2313

I honestly think they have just got the wrong data/not updated. Why would people in the south east of Europe (eg Greece) be reporting a loss of these transponders and gains in the north east (eg Finland) if they hadn't moved? Seems too much of a coincidence to happen just as other transponders where moved to 2G.

At this stage I honestly don't know. Guess we have to wait and see the whole scenario.

BTW What Signal level are you receiving on that freq which I gave you that is.... 11389 H 27500 2/3 (Bt Sport Europe HD. There are 9 channels on that freq -Horror ch+1 -Jewellery maker - CBS action - magic - heat-BTSpt-ESPN HD etc.

2E is a bit down too. Like June last year.

I accept that the pattern is very similar to last year on 2E, worst time of year for our / my area. However, that 7 till 10 drop could cause a few problems for Emmerdale, Eastenders and Corrie fans!

Are you able to receive all BBC, ITV etc at your location with the 1.2m dish? Or do you have a 120m dish?

Not sure what the 1200 dish means

I guess 11426V will be going UK spot beam when it transfers. This tp carries Indian channel Colours which has appeared on 11225V (2G Europe) which says to me they want to stay widebeam to serve their European audience .

I think you are right there. Perhaps this means the 2G Europe beam is here to stay. I would expect a few more channels to shuffle about over the coming weeks as they decide if they want to be on a stronger spot for UK or weaker wide beam for everyone.

Don´t suppose they want to put BBC on europe beam just for test purposes?
